Would You Trade Eternal Life For A Ferrari? The False Gospel of Prosperity Theology - From Dr. Albert Mohler, Jr's blog.
Excerpt from this article:
"God certainly loves us. Indeed, the Bible says, 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.' The prosperity gospel, however, shifts the impetus of that love away from the praise and glory of the Creator towards the praise and glory of the creature. Luce captures this sentiment in his report, noting that [Joel] Osteen said, 'If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If he had a computer, your face would be the screen saver.'"

Recommended sermon:
"The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy; I am come men might have life, and have it more abundantly." - John 10 (Audio)
